Flipping Normal
Film Screening curated by Michael Fleig
6 pm at 424 20th St W, Saskatoon, 2nd-floor event space
The subject matter curated into the ‘Flipping Normal’ program, presented as part of Saskatoon Nuit Blanche, will focus on human vulnerabilities, embracing diverse, non-binary, and empowering perspectives that challenge notions of normalcy. The films deal with aspects of depression, autism, face blindness, burnout, and pressures to perform, but in a ‘light-hearted’ manner. These circumstances are portrayed as integral aspects of life that individuals find their way through. In one way or another it is art that the protagonists turn to for their strength, be it painting, film making, music or designing cosplay.
Short films being presented: Scrapbook by Mike Hoolboom; ‘Carlotta’s Face’ by Frédéric Schuld and Valentin Riedl; ‘Backflip’ by Nikita Diakur; ‘I Did Not Wake Up Dead Today’ by Erin Macpherson; ‘First Work, Then Play’ by Brenda Lien; and ‘Being Someone Else’ by Øyvind Aamli, total: 82 min. Curated and introduced by Michael Fleig
